My husband, Scott, is a free range chicken. Meaning he’s never been able to work for someone. Because people telling him what to do makes him itch. This has its good points and bad points but that’s a tale for another day.

He’s an Equities & Options Trader. He trades for himself: refer to the aforementioned [...]

I was seven kinds of swamped last week. There weren’t enough hours in the day to finish the project I was working on. So what happens when the girls are left to their own devices for long periods of time? They fight of course. But when the fighting is exhausted and the tv is off [...]

You want to know what makes your girlfriends REALLY mad? Tell them about all your other girlfriends. Ya heard me. I’m just here to pass on wisdom people. You keep those other gals to yourself ok? Do NOT do what I did and put it out on the internet that you have *gulp* six different [...]

In the past 48 hours Parker and I have fought about the following:

Subject and predicates. And if Annie walks to the store then Annie is the subject not the predicate. Annie. It’s Annie!

Whether or not I intentionally made the dog eat her pencil. Because even though it looks like every other No. 2 Ticonderoga in [...]

Ahhh… Back from the girls trip. It was lovely. I wish I could tell you more but there was a confidentiality clause in the blood oath that I’m not at liberty to violate. This particular group of 14 women is the newest of my six different girl groups and I don’t want to get kicked [...]

Any good reads lately? I know, I know. I hear you, “Read?! What the… who has time to read?” Don’t get your panties in a wad. You know you secretly read novels and eat bonbons when the kids are at school. I’m just looking for some book recommendations. Wipe the chocolate off your chin, the [...]

I’ve been watching a lot of mind numbingly boring TV lately thanks to the lovely free fall and crash of the economic markets. BOR-RING. Scott makes me watch CNBC and Bloomberg and then he gets all excited at the opening of the Asian markets and starts jumping around making explosion *ppllliirrshhhhkoowww* sounds as he explains [...]

I was busy all weekend playing with thecutestbabyontheplanet Isabelle. She got off the plane, head listing to one side under the weight of an enormous bow. I’m not really a bow fan. Especially such a big bow on such a small head. But I mean… look at this baby?! She won me over with her [...]

There’s a baby in da houz. My friend and her five month old arrived yesterday for a weekend visit. Parker wants to dress her in pink bows, Tempel wants to give her her first Pokemon deck, the dog wants to lick her head, and I just want to pry her from Scott’s grip so I [...]

Parker took her job as the selector of the winning number for the contest very seriously. She wrote the numbers down, provided a hat, shook the numbers in the hat, closed her eyes, and dug in.
THIRTEEN! The winner is number 13!

See mommy?! It’s thirteen. Ok, sweetie I got it. Good job. Your work [...]
